    Sammmm! I adore you❤Thank you for allowing me to experience first hand your life in The Netherlands. I can only describe it as gezellig!! Thank you, to all the wonderful compliments from your subscribers. It’s only a continuous reflection of the warmth and kindness I received from all those I encountered in the the Netherlands. The rain didn’t put a damper on my experience. I enjoyed everything the day had to bring. I will journey back in the future. Until then, I will treasure the memories we made together on and off camera. ❤ mom

    It's been great to see you showing the Netherlands to your mother. Reminds me of the first time my Filipino father in law visited the Netherlands in 1997. Since then he has visited us regularly ( > 15 times) and every time I enjoyed him enjoying to be here. Whenever we had a trip planned he was the first waiting at the car in his smartest outfit. We visited most countries of Europe with him and our children and he loved every moment at every place. Sadly he passed away 2 years ago... enjoy the time with your family and enjoy life together

    This is so lovely to see! I am so glad your mother liked the experience and for you to have been able to show her around. My son (he is 25) moved to Switzerland last year and I visited him two times. That was so nice, him showing me around in his new country. I also wanted to get a view of his daily live and went to the supermarket with him. Just the normal things, that made my image complete. Besides that we visited several cities and walked up mountains, it is a beautiful country. Now when we talk on facetime - he ususally calls when he is on a walk, I see his village and recognise it, that is so nice!

    Lovely mom and son 🥰
    Actually what you said about Scheveningen is an experience my mom had when she came over here in the ‘60’s from Finland. A man angrily asked her to pronounce “Scheveningen” as she was riding the tram with my older brother who was still a baby.. I think my mom said she tried but couldn’t. She laughed “like a farmer with a tooth-ache” telling me about that situation..

    I had a smile on my face while watching this 😁
    Next time you need to take her to the Efteling (if KLM doesn't change her flight again)
    (also, a bit touristy, but Giethoorn is also fun to visit.)

      Really nice to hear, Cedric! And I'll be sure to make those things happen, I think she'd definitely love Giethoorn.

    You have a lovely mother, she raised you well too. Too bad she missed the visit to the Efteling. I hope she'll experience it another time. I'll be heading to Keukenhof this week. Life very close but I've never been there.

    Hi Sam, great to see our country through your and your mom's eyes. ❤
    (Did you realise that a lot of the houses/buildings you saw alongside the canals are older than the USA? Same probably goes for the church you visited. I always find that a weird realisation, because the USA has a lot of great history too!)
